STOCKTON — A 33-year-old man was injured in a drive-by shooting about 3:20 p.m. Monday while walking near the intersection of Tam O'Shanter and Knickerbocker drives, police reported.

The victim told police a blue Oldsmobile with large rims drove near him with two men inside, one with a bald head and one with dreadlocks. The man with dreadlocks made a comment to the victim and pointed a black pistol at him. The victim then attempted to distract the men by pointing past them and fleeing, but as he was running he heard a gunshot and realized he had been struck, suffering a nonlife-threatening wound.

A passing motorist gave the victim a ride to a home in the 1500 block of Silver Creek Circle, where police were called to respond.
